STORMY WEATHER
GALES SWEEP AUSTRALIAN STATES United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received April 17, 11.18 p.m.) MELBOURNE, April 17. Although the Easter holiday weather in Melbourne started well, a change developed on Saturday, bringing winds of gale force which swept all parts of the State causing much damage. The north-west wind coming over the drought stricken northern areas brought vast clouds of dust, causing showers of red rain. Campers had an unenviable time, many tents being blown down, causing holiday makers to pack up and return to the city. Many yachts and fishing boats were blown ashore. There is little rain as yet but heavy falls are expected
